<h1>Measurable objects</h1>

<p>Measurable objects are <a href="objects.htm">objects</a> that can be used for <a href="distanceCalculation.htm">minimum distance calculation</a> against other measurable objects. They include:
</p>

<li><a href="dummies.htm">Dummies</a></li>
<li><a href="shapes.htm">Shapes</a></li>
<li><a href="octrees.htm">OC trees</a></li>
<li><a href="pointClouds.htm">Point clouds</a></li>

<p>
<a href="collections.htm">Collections</a> are also measurable, since they might contain measurable objects. </p>
<p>Measurable objects can have their <em>measurable property</em> individually enabled or disabled (enabled by default for non-pure shapes, OC trees and point clouds). This can be set in the <a href="commonPropertiesDialog.htm">object common properties</a> or through the <a href="regularApi/simSetObjectSpecialProperty.htm">sim.setObjectSpecialProperty</a> <a href="apiFunctions.htm">API</a> function.<br>
</p>
<p>Additionally, measurable objects can have their <em>measurable property</em> overridden depending on their related <em>model properties</em> (if they are part of a <a href="models.htm">model</a>). Refer to the <a href="modelDialog.htm">model dialog</a> for more information.</p>
